The sun was shining in the sky, but there was a faint thunder in the sky, and in the distance, several scout war horses were running frantically from a distance, rushing towards Luo Yishui's Chinese army banner. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Luo Yishui's face changed greatly. He has a lot of experience in warfare, and even if the scouts don't say anything, he understands that the Tiger Ben Army is coming.

The three days of delay in Longyou County were now turning into a nightmare for him, and he did not arrive under the Zhongping County Town as scheduled to take this county seat that was very important to him. Next, his situation will be a little more difficult.

Looking up, looking at the seemingly unshakable figure standing tall with the sun on his back on Longyou City in the distance, Luo Yishui let out a long breath.

"Mingjin, collect the troops!"

The sound of the golden gong sounded, and the rebels retreated like a tide, and at this time, the thunderous sound was becoming more and more obvious, and the soldiers on the city finally came to their senses, and the time jumped on the top of the city gate building, pulled out the Dayue flag inserted on it, waved it vigorously, and laughed loudly.

"Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming!"

The entire Longyou City cheered, they created a miracle in three days, withstood the round-robin attack of nearly 100,000 rebels, and firmly blocked Luo Yishui from Longyou City.

At this moment, a proud smile appeared on every face.

Hearing this cheer that rushed straight to the clouds, Luo Yishui's face changed slightly, he turned around, and saw that some guards were about to pull out the flagpole hanging from Xiao Zhenggang's head, he waved his hand: "Forget it, leave him here and return it to his family!" ”

With that, he turned back again, glanced at the lady who was still standing there, and struck the horse with a fierce whip, and flew away.

With a pillar of incense, the rebels have retreated without a trace. A figure jumped down from the top of the city, like a puff of light smoke, rushed to the lonely flagpole standing there on the battlefield, drew a knife, the knife flashed, the flagpole fell, the man flew up, hugged Xiao Zhenggang's head that fell on the flagpole tightly in his arms, and turned around and ran towards the city.

"Madam, the master is back!" Time knelt in front of Old Madam Xiao.

Old Madam Xiao bent down and took Xiao Zhenggang's head from Time Time, her body looking a little stiff.

"Zhenggang, we're going home!" She pressed her head tightly to her arms, two lines of tears flowed down, her body shook a few times, and a few mouthfuls of blood spurted out, spraying the time that was still kneeling in front of him all over her face.

Time looked up in a panic and saw Old Madam Xiao's face, and her face suddenly changed greatly.

The sound of hooves rumbled, and the banner of the Tiger Ben Army appeared in everyone's field of vision, and two cavalry teams, one on the left and one on the right, circled around the left and right sides of the city and gathered together at the city gate.

Kang Qiao, the commander of the Tiger Army, looked at the dead corpses all over the battlefield and the raging fires in Longyou City, and his eyes were not only shocked, but also admired. He didn't expect that Longyou County would be able to hold on until he arrived here.

It was supposed to be the time to celebrate the victory, but above the city, there was a burst of crying at this time, and he looked up in surprise, and at a glance saw an old lady Xiao holding a head in his arms above the city.

Old Madam Xiao is dead. After the victory, Mrs. Xiao, who had been supporting herself for many days, hugged her husband's head tightly and passed away with a smile.

The closed city gate was knocked open by a sledgehammer from the inside, and Jane walked out of the inside with tears in her eyes, walked up to Kangqiao, and saluted with her fists: "Commander Kang, Old Madam Xiao is gone." ”

"Dismount!" Concho shouted in a deep voice.

"Dismount!"

"Dismount!"

In an instant, the command spread like rippling ripples from the head of the team to the end of the team. There was a clattering sound of armor leaves, and 20,000 cavalry turned over and dismounted in unison.

"Kneel!" Concho yelled again.

20,000 cavalrymen knelt on one knee and bowed their heads in silence. For the old woman who looked extremely thin above the city. Everyone knew very well in their hearts that without this old lady coming with her family, Longyou City would have been broken long ago, and Zhongping County was afraid that it had already fallen into the hands of Luo Yishui at this time, which would cause great difficulty for the imperial court to exterminate the rebels.

And now, everything seems much simpler.

In Zhongping County, when Wu Jian, the emperor of Yue who had just arrived with the main force of the Tiger Army, got the news of Longyou County, he exhaled a long breath, and the situation was much better than he expected.

"The Xiao family is full of loyalty, respectable and admirable, pass my will to Longyou County, posthumously crown Xiao Zhenggang as a loyal and righteous candidate, posthumously crown his wife as the wife of the protector, and Xiao Zhenggang's title is hereditary."

"Your Majesty's reward, the Xiao clan must be grateful!" Zhou Kairong, the secretary of the military department who came with the army, bowed and said.

"How many people are left in the Xiao clan?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Old Madam Xiao, oh, it was Mrs. Huguo who sold her property and rescued Longyou County, after this battle, there were less than 100 people left in more than 1,000 clansmen, and only one son and one grandson were left in their descendants, and the rest were killed in the battle of Longyou." Zhou Kairong said in a low voice.

"The rest of the Xiao clan returned to Yuejing City to recuperate, gave the Baihua Lane mansion to the Xiao clan, and the treasury allocated 500,000 taels of silver to the Xiao clan to settle down. Well, the general of the county soldiers who guards the county seat of Longyou is also very good, what is his name? ”

"It's called Jian Fang!" Zhou Kairong said.

"Promoted to Jian Fang as the deputy commander of the garrison of Yuejing City, he will escort the Xiao clan all the way back to Yuejing, along the way, the momentum should be made bigger, so that all the people of Dayue can see that my Dayue's loyal and righteous people are endless, and the Dayue national fortune is Yongchang, and the small ones will inevitably be punished."

"I understand. It's just Your Majesty, the old mansion in Baihua Lane is the old mansion of the Luo family, and now it is given to the Xiao family, is it ......" Zhou Kairong hesitated.

Wu Jian laughed: "That's it, wouldn't it be nice to let the **** of the Xiao clan step on the old land of the Luo clan every night?" For the Shaw family, this is also a very happy thing. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhou Kairong said again and again.

Unlike the jubilant generals of the imperial court, the Luo Yishui Department retreated from Longyou all the way to Tongxian County, but the atmosphere was extremely gloomy, and the cavalry led by Kang Qiao, the commander of the Tiger Army, arrived in Longyou, which also represented that the main force of the Tiger Army had arrived in Zhongping County, and did not take Zhongping County, which made Luo Yishui lose the original idea of using Zhongping County as a base for advancement.

All of a sudden, the situation became worse.

"How is Huang Hao's injury?" Luo Yishui asked.

"General, Huang Hao was injured by an armor-piercing crossbow arrow, the key is that this arrow was shot from under the gear, and now his life is saved, but I am afraid that in the future, I will ...... in the future" Fu Ming swallowed, and some couldn't go on. At that time, Huang Hao stood on top of the battlements to resist the counterattack of Old Madam Xiao and the defenders, the arrow was from the bottom up, and it was shooting from under the crotch with the most vulnerable protection, hitting the vital point, if it was shot somewhere else, with Huang Hao's martial arts cultivation, he would not be so seriously injured.

Luo Yishui looked up to the sky and sighed, the big rivers and rivers came over, but he planted a big heel in the small county town of Longyou, not only did he not take it down, but he lost one of his generals.

"Let him recuperate, Jinhua, what is the specific situation now?" He turned his head to look at Chen Jinhua.

"General Hui, the main force of the Tiger Ben Army has indeed arrived in Zhongping County, and it is the emperor who led the army to conquer in person, the Tiger Ben Army plus the county soldiers collected by the emperor, in Zhongping County now gathered about 50,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 20,000 Tiger Ben cavalry now stationed in Longyou, the strength of the imperial court is similar to ours. Moreover, the soldiers of Yeongpyeong-gun also poured in from our flanks. Chen Jinhua said in a low voice. Those who promised to respond to us in Zhongping County before have now hesitated, although they have not changed their hexagrams, but the situation of looking at the wind is already obvious. ”

"The grass on the wall never ends well." Luo Yishui snorted, "Think of a way to reveal the list of these people to Wu Jian, with his temperament, he will inevitably kill in Zhongping County again." ”

"Yes!"

"It is difficult to take Zhongping County for a while, here, most of the stalemate will be formed, so we have to find another way, we do not have a fixed base and granary, Zhongping County we only account for half, in terms of the situation here, it is impossible to feed our nearly 100,000 troops. Fu Ming, I went out to sweep up recently and raised more food, how much is there, how much can I get. ”

"Yes, General, I see."

"General Chen, you divide 20,000 troops and attack Yongping." Luo Yishui looked at Chen Ci, "Since Zhongping County is like this, then Yongping must be taken, the county soldiers there are vulnerable, defeat them, take Yongping, if Zhongping forms a stalemate, we will start with Yongping." ”

"Yes, I will take Yongping." Chen Ci stood up and nodded vigorously.

With his hands, Luo Yishui felt a little headache, no one knows the strength of the Tiger Ben Army better than him, with his current strength, it is really difficult to say who will win and who will lose. Lay down Yongping,Leave yourself a way out.,In case things don't go well.,Retreat into Yongping and then make a decision.,It seems that I've been too optimistic before.,If you attack in the middle of the peace at the same time, the troops will be Yongping.,Now things are not so passive.。 But before, I underestimated Zhongping's resistance too much, and only thought about taking Zhongping as quickly as possible, in that case, with Yongping's strength, it was also conceivable to pass on the tower, but now, everything has become a problem.

"How is the Taiping army now, haven't they launched an attack on Zhengyang County yet? How could the imperial court throw all the 50,000 tiger troops into Zhongping? He suddenly looked up and asked.

"General, according to the latest information we have collected, the Taiping Army did transfer a war camp into Zhengyang County, and now in Zhengyang County, the Taiping Army has a total of two war camps, close to 10,000 troops, but they did not attack, but are in a wait-and-see state, and the main force of the Taiping Army is now unknown, and it should still be in the Mengshan camp."

"Like Qin Jun, he is also a person who wants to see the style and pick up cheap goods!" Luo Yishui said fiercely, when he left Taiping City, the secret discussion with Qin Feng now seemed like a joke. (To be continued.) )
